Peaceful Sleep
As I tossed and turned
I thought about my day
I could not close my eyes and sleep
I felt I needed to pray
I saw passed opportunity
When I held back what I should say
I could not close my eyes and sleep
I knew I needed to pray
I didn’t call or reach out
To some who might have needed me today
I could not close my eyes to sleep
This is what I started to pray
Lord teach me obedience
May I seek Your will in all I do
May I search only Your word for direction
My every step follow You
Waking in the morning light
I had such a sense my Lord was there
Realizing the peace so overwhelming
He caused me to sleep in the midst of my prayer.
